The purchase .: price of the horse was $1,600 or 200 per . share, for each of the eight "". members of ;the company ; so, as holders of one', share, our initial investment wm $. Stock holders had to pay 'the regular ser vice fee of $15 for" each' -mare bred. Unfortunately, after; four seasons of service, the stallion died and as the company did not carry' insurance On him, we lost our .initial investment of $200, but there is yet something to show for it. " ! Flatwoods Stock, and Grain Farm raised 13 colts from this horse; some of which are shown in the accompany ing photograph. For - each' one of them, as stated, 'a service fee of $15 was paid, which makes the total cash investment $395, including stockjn the Iiorse. Horses and colts amounting to $812,50 have been sold off the farm, and at a conservative estimate, $2000. worth are there now, all from the $1,600 stallion. Since . these colts be came old enough for service, we have had a very dependable source of farm power, and a small surplus for sale each year. - " - ; Had we put $500 or. more in the stallion, we couldn't have lost. The picture shows the type of colts sired by the stallion I mention. We have me Dest lot of draft horses we have ever had and when a team is ready ior sale, a buyer is waiting. LEE M. COLE,.
